Fok Julle Naaiers

07.11.2011

Aaaaaand it’s back up. But we’re not going to talk about that because we refuse to play into Ninja’s marketing strategy. Die Antwoord have dropped a new video. Let the pointless arguments about artistic and cultural appropriation begin.

UPDATE: The official video in back up on Vimeo. Download the track HERE for freeeee.

Hahaha.
“Aaaaaand it’s back up. But we’re not going to talk about that because we refuse to play into Ninja’s marketing strategy. Check out DIE ANTWOORD’s video for Fok Julle Naaiers.”

Only from the Mahala high-horse can one post about a topic twice, find a mirror to make sure it gets seen and try scoop some early click through views, while also high-wiring it across the fence and claiming objectivity. Not playing the game hey, you fokken pawns (typo intended).

Is there more to say about this than that it’s totally kak? It was ‘new’ and interesting for a very, very short while and there haven’t been any new ideas since. So well done on becoming a caricature of a caricature of gangster culture. Now bring on the fart scented perfume – the logical next step in your cultural devolution.

Why are you guys such haters, these peeps are making sa proud by showing how diverse we are. If two peeps from the flats can make it in hollywood then we all have hope. There stuff is original, and never been seen before, it’ll stay cool forever.

“Waddy is by a million miles the most talented rapper In South Africa.”

He might be in the top 10 but definitely not the most talented ‘by a million miles’. The most marketable, self-evidently.

I watched the ‘Faggot’ video. I found it odd that Ninja felt the need to make such a video, saying, ‘some of my best friends are gay’ and ‘we’re not homophobic’. The issue seemed to be more about glamourising male rape than homophobia, but it felt weird and out of character. Quite a strange concession to possible public outcry. Maybe he’s worried about getting banned from Australian festivals like Odd Future?

What the fuck oes.. you don’t get a slamse accent like that from growing up in the good part of town. That’s the real flats taal. You all can be haters, but Ninja and Yolandi will be foking shit up for a long time. We’re the real fans, so if you’re not then why hate us appreciating them?

actually, FOKJULLE, assuming you’re not just joking here, watkin grew up in the leafy Northern ‘burbs of Jozi, went to good schools and even had a little ‘hippy’ phase. Yolandi went to Pro Arte, a private art school, and comes from wealthy parents. These idiots don’t ‘represent’ your shit, they mock it, to your face. Go and look on youtube for all of the incarnations little waddy has had. He’s more fake than a cheap chinese Rolex. It staggers me that people bought into this guy’s bullshit. Bunch of mislead fools. It took a guy like waddy to spot the gap in the market I guess though, and instead of bitching about the ‘struggle’ and whatnot, he made something out of YOUR stories.

Well, fuck me up the anus if this ain’t the cutest little lullaby I’ve heard in a long while. Doesn’t seem to have much intellectual content, though. I mean, is there a hidden message, or something? No, I don’t suppose there is. That would detract from the cuteness, which is what makes these artists so refreshing. It’s a pity there’s nothing equivalent to this in South African fiction, an area of expression that is so stifled by bourgeois morality it’s unable to break with the boring old conventions.

If you want some homegrown literary entertainment I suggest checking out Kikaffir: a Black Comedy – it’s full of decapitations, crucifixions, cannibalism and lots of other funny moments. What can Die Antwoord answer to that?

Do you guys not have jobs or anythhing? just sit around being dicks and making shit up about them…If you can’t handle there music, carry on listening to your crap indie bands. I’ve been a fan of Ninjas from the start, when no one even really new about DA, and I can count ninja as one of my bros. So i guess you guys are just looking from the outside in.

It’s not about liking “crap indie bands” here. It’s about people who have bought into this pseudo-art trashy wank. It’s about watkin and co milking this idea, being a fake. Actually, since you don’t understand this guy, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpXZrcqPs18
Derek was waddy’s most cringeworthy character. I remember feeling so sorry for his parents at one point. Anyway, whatever.

@ Ball bag: It takes time to find onesself. Some of my chommies are still stuck with the “flats mentality” and won’t let go of their gam rootz. And Wadz tunes make it easier, they’re not fake and neither is he. He’s struggled as much as us coloureds have. And yeah he’s a real good friend of mine. We’ve been bros for 3 years now, we braaied at my fokken house the night before he went on tour.

haha, I doubt he’s struggled as much at all. The fact that you see this venture of his as anything but a parody means you’ve too fallen into the great big waddy bullshit trap. While your ‘chommies’ were going to sub rate schools, eating shit food brought home by overworked, underpaid marginalised parents, he was living a padded life in the leafy suburbs listening to Cypress hill. The closest he likely came to the ‘struggle’ was struggling to find weed. Don’t for a second think you’ve not been conned. But hey, it’s your view that it’s different, so be it. You must know, you’ve braaid together.

Anyway, this is diverting the conversation about this pointless video and shit, pretentious crap excuse for music. It takes a small mind to be entertained by swearing. It’s pointless. The video, while beautifully shot, is pointless.

Still, I predict you’ll see that I’m right. Their appeal will wear out eventually, but by then they’ll have made their money. I’ll bet they won’t be spending it on a house in the flats though. You’ll get to have braais in Oranjezicht though. Lekka.

All the hateration on here just smacks of jealousy sense and ties in with the fact that most of the local okes Waddy has collaborated with haven’t accomplished an inch of what he has. I hope that one day Waddy will skip these pseudo self help comedy rap tracks he is making and produce the timeless and classic rap album he is capable of making. He might be a tool and a fucken nutjob but he makes up for it in talent and sheer genius.

What the fuck is the problem if they aren’t real members of the 26’s or that they come from suburban backgrounds? They are an act and so what, its theatre, with dope sleaze rhymes… haters >>> fokjoupoes.

@ball bag et al
real fake whatever. you think other artists are their persona’s? reality? please.
All the ‘we know who you are’ comments just come across as petty, jealous whining from the suburban peanut gallery. People that don’t become famous are more real -almost by definition. Just boringly so.
DA are great live, very south african and different enough to get world wide attention. will they last? who knows. but kudos all the same.
